Alphonse had also arrived. When he first saw Mia being burned by the fireball, his heart jumped into his throat, but he didn't expect Mia to reveal another trick.

This little girl is really good at hiding her strength; she really has been concealing her abilities!

It seems we don't need to help her anymore.

At this moment, her swordsmanship was much more impressive than before.

Alphonse turned his head and approached another knight who was also wearing full armor.

At this moment, the knight's warhorse had been killed, and he could only fight on foot. Although the soldiers of Coldwind Territory surrounded him, they could not stop him and he killed or wounded several of them.

Alphonse approached from behind like a ghost, his dark palms opening and closing, slamming heavily onto Alphonse's helmet.

Surprisingly, the metal knight's helmet wasn't flattened. The man only let out a muffled groan, then swung his sword back with a shimmering white light.

The palm strike seemed to have missed its mark, as if it had been absorbed into the sea.

Alphonse shrank back to avoid the attack, then advanced instead, his palms gathering a dense dark light that struck the knight's ribs with lightning speed.

The feeling remained the same; this "Black Gold Armor Break" technique was ineffective.

The force seemed to have been absorbed and dissipated.

The knight stumbled, let out a low, muffled howl, and staggered backward, still having the strength to swing his sword and force back the soldiers who were closing in on him.

Alphonse used his Monkey Transformation technique, flashing forward once more and easily dodging the knight's slash. His hand, soft and yielding as if it had no force, pressed against the knight's chest.

Even the Black Gold Armor Piercing Technique couldn't break through its defenses, no matter how hard it tried. This full-body armor was indeed quite strange.

But it doesn't look like protective battle aura at all; it seems to be some other completely different power.

Alphonse naturally came up with a solution.

This seemingly powerless palm strike was actually the Eclipse Moon Soul-Floating Hand technique from the Xuanmo Sect, one of the seven lineages of the Ten Directions Holy Sect.

It shares similarities with the Heart-Shattering Palm, a unique skill of the Diancang School, but is even more superior. It emphasizes extreme yin and softness, seemingly illusory yet real, with multiple layers of force erupting from within the opponent's body.

To put it simply, it's a more advanced version of "hitting a cow from across a mountain".

Immediately, the knight let out a piercing scream, blood gushing from the helmet's vent, and he staggered unsteadily.

Although the force had diminished, it still penetrated inside.

The reason for not aiming for vital organs like the head is that the helmet does not fit snugly against the face, making it unsuitable for unleashing force.

Upon hearing the scream, Alphonse immediately recognized that the knight was indeed that brat, Feren.

Almost simultaneously, a deafening explosion rang out.

Alphonse ignored him and struck out with a palm without hesitation, intending to kill Feren.

But at that moment, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in my heart.

A sharp, piercing whistling sound entered my ears, rushing in from behind.

Using his ability to pinpoint the location by sound, Alphonse seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, quickly withdrawing his hand and shifting his position to dodge the sudden sword strike.

Just as he was about to retaliate, he saw the person who had ambushed him grab Faerun with lightning speed, leaving a trail of afterimages as he smashed through the crowd and disappeared into the distance.

They couldn't catch up with him even if they tried.

That movement technique was truly astonishingly fast!

It's like wearing rocket boots!

Look at that shimmering silver figure, fluttering in the strong wind, yet wearing a tattered indigo cloak.

It appears that it was Count Mujik who escaped.

Does he really have that ability?

Turning around, I only saw Mia's back as she rushed towards the town, hacking and slashing at the soldiers of the Mujik family as if cutting melons and vegetables.

On this battlefield, the Mujik family's soldiers were almost all gone, most of them kneeling down and begging for mercy, a scene of mourning filled the air.

Alphonse took a deep breath and roared, "Count Mujik has escaped! Those who don't want to die, lay down your weapons and surrender!"

The roar echoed throughout the entire battlefield.

Thunderous cheers immediately erupted from the town.

Not a single soldier from Coldwind Territory was killed in action, nor were any of them missing limbs.

He was already a fierce veteran, and after cultivating the Blood Fiend Demon Art, he was close to becoming a warrior with first-level battle qi.

Thanks to the characteristics of the Blood Fiend Demon Art, they were able to receive a boost during battle, only suffering injuries but not dying.

Taisi was the most seriously injured, but none of his vital organs were damaged.

Although Count Mujik's aura piercing stab passed through two layers of armor, it failed to penetrate his body.

The bleeding has stopped, medicine has been applied, and he can now walk with difficulty.

Alphonse simply left Tessie with a few soldiers to guard the prisoners, while he absorbed the deathly energy from the battlefield and led the main force to intercept the remnants of the Mujik family.

With their commander fleeing in disarray and the remaining soldiers demoralized, coupled with the addition of Mia, the killing machine, to the battle, the Mujik family's forces were caught in a pincer attack and surrendered en masse.

The Swood family will clean up the mess.

The army of shadow giant ants suffered the most severe losses, almost all of them were wiped out.

However, after wandering around for a while, Alphonse managed to replenish the necromantic energy he had consumed, and his reserves were now much higher than before.

However, the creatures summoned again were not the Shadow Giant Ants.

It truly seemed as if the soul of the deceased was bound.

Alphonse also got the answer to why Count Mujik had left so quickly from Mia.

Mia guessed that his boots were enchanted with the magic of "Swift Wind," which could greatly increase running speed for a short period of time.

It's clear that Count Mujik and his son Feren's full-body armor are no ordinary items; they must be quite valuable.

They escaped, and we couldn't seize them.

"Welcome to the army from Coldwind Territory!"

As a civilian raised his arm and shouted.

Tidal waves of applause and cheers erupted from both sides of the street.

Alphonse led the Frostwind Guard into the town, where they were greeted by a welcoming party of Bluefeather Territory residents and received the treatment of a hero.

In the eyes of the common people, Alphonse was exceptionally heroic and extraordinary; even his gloomy temperament was seen as an advantage, representing perseverance and composure.

The soldiers of Cold Wind Territory were also exceptionally fierce and displayed great prowess.

Loud shouts and enthusiastic applause echoed each other, and the whole town seemed to be bathed in a joyful atmosphere.

Whether they were elderly, women, or children, their faces were filled with joyful smiles, as if they were seeing a loved one return.

If it weren't for the arrival of the Coldwind Territory's guards to provide support and repel the evil Earl Mujik, the town's residents would surely have faced the invaders' swords, and many families would have been torn apart and killed.

Alphonse could only smile and wave in response.

Such a scene is truly rare to witness.

Whether it was arranged by the Swood family or not, the genuine joy on the faces of these commoners from Blue Feather Territory was palpable, and their eyes were filled with reverence and gratitude.

It doesn't look fake.
